== RfC on Infoboxes ==


We'll also have ] and you're invited to sign up for one, though space is somewhat limited.
Hey there. As an uninvolved participant in an ArbCom case on info boxes, I wanted to ask an opinion about this. Since you were the one who proposed a community-wide RfC on info boxes in order to address whether to adopt a policy or guideline addressing what factors should weigh in favor of or against including an infobox in a given article at that arbitration case (which was closed during my two-month long semi-retirement), I was wondering if it's possible to start up the RfC. Any thoughts or ideas about this? Regards, ] (] - ]) 03:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
:I recall that there was some discussion soon after the case about getting the RfC underway. I am blanking right now on where that took place (or maybe I was hallucinating it), but hopefully someone reading here would know. I think my arbitrator colleague Carcharoth had some thoughts on the issue, so you also might try him. As an arbitrator on the case I don't think I should start or take a leading role in the discussion, but I do anticipate posting some thoughts when it takes place. Regards, ] (]) 14:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
::The case left us with unresolved situations like ] ("Ah how fleeting, ah how futile") where someone with courage is needed. How about an arbitrator himself? Or can we establish someone to check if an infobox is good for the project? - An ] but those for whom an infobox is not a harmless tool of information but an attack were against it.

:My brief suggestion would be, please wait until the new year (only 2 months away), and please go immensely slowly, especially at first - the way an RfC is introduced, and structured, is critical for bringing light (instead of heat, and tl;dr problems), to the issues involved. I gave more detailed thoughts at the arbcom case pages. –] (]) 18:39, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
:: As long as we're passing out advice for Sjones23 on launching the RFC, I saw over on his talk page that ] really missed the boat with this: "Arbcom punted the case when it cast it in terms of a project-wide dispute, when it was really more of a localized issue involving about three wikiprojects with overlapping editors (and, of course, Andy on the outside)." No, wrong. May have looked that way to those not following closely because so many folks stayed away because of the nastiness. I don't know if I'd say ArbCom punted the case, but if the perception that they did exists, it was for lack of evidence when they probably rightly sensed that the disruption surrounding infoboxes was a huge issue, and the whole case was a proxy for broader user conduct issues and editor alliances. But no one presented that evidence (I didn't 'cuz I had more important stuff going on in real life and doing it justice would take two weeks of diff gathering). Sjones, if you buy what Mackensen stated, you are less likely to craft a workable RFC that will reach productive conclusions. ] (]) 02:19, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

* Saturday, January 25, 2025
I don't think there's much sense in re-fighting an old RFAR. The simple fact of the matter is that I repeatedly asked for proof that this was a true project-wide dispute and none was really adduced. If Arbcom seized on lack of evidence as proof of a broader dispute then they did everyone a grave disservice. There's a raw statistic which might help shed light on this: {{t1|Infobox}} is used on 1.8 million articles, or roughly 41% of all articles on the English Misplaced Pages. Even that number is low as there are plenty of infoboxes which don't use it as a base. If there's truly a project-wide issue I would have expected broader participation in the RFAR and a greater groundswell for RFCs to resolve these matters. None of this is happening, ''because for most people this isn't a controversial issue.'' This is leaving aside the entire question of content re-use and portable data, both of which are pressing matters in web design. Whatever. I spend enough time fighting that battle in my actual job; I'm not going to fight it here, too. You don't have to buy my view that this was ultimately a parochial dispute with a small cross-section of editors. I'm not selling it. I'd rather be editing articles, and the portions of the project I edit aren't disturbed by this intractable problem. ] ] 12:53, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
*:''12:00 pm – 5:00 pm''
: Then I'm additionally concerned that you may be out of touch with how people feel about getting involved in arbcases; a (correctly formulated) RFC (vs RFAR) will likely generate more feedback. And that there are 1.8 million articles with infoboxes may not reflect how individual editors working on individual articles feel about them, rather a wiser "pick your battles" issue. I have inaccurate information in medical infoboxes imposed by ] convention upon articles I edit, and I choose not to do that battle. I saw uncited, undue information in FAC after FAC, plopped into infoboxes, and although I refused to promote those FAs, they are promoted today; did that come up in the RFAR? () A productive RFC needs to decide at what level consensus for infoboxes is determined. I have bowed to ] consensus on medical articles in the interest of keeping the peace with other editors I respect, not because I want to spread inaccurate information in articles I edit. We have had extensive discussions about this at ], but you didn't hear about that in the arb case, did you? Who gets involved in an arbcase is not a measure of how extensive the issues are-- particularly when the arbcase involves the amount of and extent of acrimony and factionalism and other issues as that case involved. Further, arbcases are rarely about what they seem to be about on the surface, and the infobox case is a classic example of the case really being about other underlying issues. Perhaps you perceived it involved only three or so wikiprojects because those are the areas the most disruptive editors focused on. ] (]) 14:50, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

::I agree with Sandy here. The issue is not confined to classical music projects (broadly construed). It is an ongoing source of disagreement in articles on many arts subjects. ], I suggest you read ], which attempted to communicate some of this. Most of the evidence presented by the named parties and observers focused on classical music articles, because that was the flare-up that directly led to the case. However, that gives a skewed view of the situation. Like Sandy, I think that a thoughtfully drafted RfC could provide a much more complete picture and give ''everyone'' a pause for thought, even if it will probably end up reaffirming ]. – ] (]) 15:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
::There are two disparate conflicts intersecting under the infobox heading here. The business of Andy pushing infoboxes and music editors resisting had been going on for something like seven years prior to the most recent case, and this may be what he's referring to. This overlaps with WP:QAI's feud with the FAC regulars, which seemed to blow up more recently. (I'd say about 2 years, when TCO brought out his ].) Outside of infoboxes, my impression is that Andy's role in that fight, which encompasses FAs and potential FAs in general, has been peripheral, rather than central.
::Anyway, I think the argument that because X number of articles have an infobox, uncontentiously, and Y number of people are not complaining, is based on a fallacious premise: that the use or non-use of an infobox should be determined on an encyclopedia-wide basis, like the use of reliable sources. Some subjects are very well-suited to infoboxes (say, chemistry); other subjects tend to suffer when crammed into key-value pairs, particularly in the humanities. I'd contend that the controversy centers on the music-related projects not because they happen to be hopelessly parochial, but because they have both a subject matter that's not very well expressed in infoboxes and an editor base well-knit enough to coherently resist that tool being forced on them. Of course, there won't be visible conflict in areas where infoboxes work well with the subject matter, which are many, nor where the editor base is spread too thin to register organized resisting (as in Sandy's example of WP:MED above). ] (]) 17:53, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
::: I don't disagree with any of this, and I've read ]'s evidence. I don't think infobox use should be determined on an encyclopedia-wide basis. Hence my question as to what, exactly, is the purpose of this RFC? As I said on my own talk page: " Projects that use infoboxes use infoboxes. Some don't. An RFC which either tried to impose them on those which don't want them or conversely tried to remove them from projects which did want them would probably be considered invalid." I also said this: "Crafting a binding content guideline regarding templates sounds like the source of endless controversy and I'm unconvinced that it's a wise use of anyone's time." Seriously: what exactly is anyone looking to accomplish here? ] ] 22:23, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
:::: While I agree with the general gist of the comments by ] and ], Choess's analysis misses a fair chunk of history. The issues spread by a small but vocal minority of editors in the FA process (leading to the departure of numerous writers, reviewers, delegates, technical support people, and the FA director) pre-date TCO's "report" by a few years, and he was but a small part in a bigger situation that unfolded. The only real significance of the TCO "analysis" was that he exempted certain editors (cf ] post linked above, where he describes said FA writers) from the same criticism he made of other editors (ie, alliances, if I like you and you're my friend I won't criticize your cookie cutter FAs that you used to climb the ] greasepole). <p>And, Andy's role should be viewed in the context of other assaults made on FAs to promote personal stylistic preferences by like-minded technical editors, and the effect that (and the alliances) had on the FA process. Keep in mind that in most historical lame technical style issues, style warriors attack FAs first (in one recent case, moving from one sock to another to escape detection and achieve maximum changes to FAs without detection, aided, fyi, by some arbs), because they believe that if they can install their personal preferences in FAs, they will achieve trickle down to other articles. Same happened with the date-delinking debacle, the stylistic citation preferences furthered by a ] and his associates, and in the infobox wars. Whether Andy's role was peripheral or central, FAs are often a first target, which is why most of the FA community has long known just what was going on. <p> In response to Mackensen, it doesn't strike me that you are reading what is on this page any more than Gerda is; diffs are there, please read them. There is still disruption, there is still proxying, and there are still undefined issues about infoboxes. I hope you will work to understand those issues, and realize that Misplaced Pages is not the same place it was five or eight years ago. It is much nastier, and it is much harder for the arbs to get a handle on things, so they perhaps have made a decision to limit the scope of cases, and focus only on the worst offenders in each case. ] (]) 16:12, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey NYB - I was wondering what the right place would be to raise discussion of an old ArbCom subject. Specifically, we're coming up on the three-year anniversary of Case/Abortion, at which point some of the remedies expire. –] (] &sdot; ]) 13:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
:It depends on exactly what you think needs to be done, if anything. If it's just an informational post that the remedies will expire soon, the requests talkpage or the article talkpage might be the right place. If you think that extension or modification of the remedies is necessary (and can support that with evidence and you believe other editors would agree with you), then you could file a request for clarification or amendment. If you think the ArbCom remedies should be succeeded by community-based remedies, then I suppose that would go on WP:AN.

:::Roscelese, what do you see as expiring in ]? There was a provision allowing admins to apply semiprotection on abortion related articles and talk pages , which protection may not extend beyond December 2014 by my count, on any one article. The whole topic area remains under discretionary sanctions indefinitely. The DS provision could itself be used to impose longer semiprotections if needed. There does not seem to be any imminent change in the system established by Arbcom that might cause concern. It is regrettable that the Arbcom-endorsed RfC on the article titles seems to have .
